Scope
Cancer remains the second leading cause of death worldwide. Although there are many successful examples of art-science collaborations in various disciplines, the number of art-science initiatives directed towards cancer research is very few. The focus of this special section is to investigate whether combining principles of art, science and technology with that of cancer biology can advance cancer research. To address this issue we seek submissions related to novel, cutting edge topics that combine scientific methodologies with artistic practices. We are specifically interested in studies that lead to establishing new paradigms in prevention, diagnosis and cure for cancer providing novel perspectives for oncologists beyond what has been revealed by biological research alone.
